Yay! I'm so proud of myself.........I actually worked on 2 projects on my WOOFA list this month..........After NOT working on one in months I am still way behind, but nonetheless..........happy to say that the Garage Sale Quilt is sandwiched, quilted, bound, Done!
I limited myself to using what I had in my stash to finish this flimsy I was lucky enough to find at a garage sale this summer.....I found 4 different greens that I cut up into 16 big rectangles that I sewed together for the backing
After sandwiching and after asking for input from my blogging friends for the binding I settled with a Green containing a bit of white, yellow and red that I found in my stash and I think it works
I've also pulled out...or pulled off is more like it......the Long Time Gone quilt that has been looking at me from my design wall for months now..........all the blocks are done and now I am piecing it together in sections using checkerboard filler blocks.
I've started at the bottom and worked to the right so I think I have a little less than half ready to put together. I have decided I am changing the checkerboard filler blocks to a bigger size. The 1.5 x 1.5 squares are just too small for me I think.............I am hoping to get this finished in October......or at least November..... but I will continue to work on it in the meantime.....
So anyway.........don't forget to go and check out Cheryll's link-up page HERE and see the fabulous things everyone has to show you! Thanks for keeping us on track Cheryll!

Congratulations on finishing that fabulous garage sale star quilt!
Best of luck with "Long Time Gone" for October.
What a great find and Beautiful finish on the star quilt.
To feel the excitement of a finish is well worth all the effort we put into our quilts. You saved a beauty from being lost & it's wonderful too. Well done on your finish AND for the getting your drive back to work on another. Well done... xox
Go you! You have done so well.
Wonderful finish, it now has a LIFE, and and is happy now.
The garage sale quilt is gorgeous... great finish

Love that quote at the end - how true it is! Congratulations on the great finish - I love scrappy quilts!!
Take a bow! Your Garage Sale quilt is so sweet and I'm sure the original maker is smiling.
You did such a great job on your garage sale quilt! I’m sure the maker would be so pleased with it. Your Long Time Gone is going to be fabulous. There are so many great blocks in it.
